Castle Crashers is a return to form of such games as Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, Final Fight, River City Ransom, Double Dragon, and a host of other sidescrolling beat'em ups.
The gameplay is simple, yet addictive.
The netcode is just plain shitty. I went to the devblog to see if anyone was talking about it ... the devblog has a 500 internal server error. The problem is widespread and needs to be addressed ASAP. I haven't been able to play with Onyx or Machina yet, and I can barely join other online matches either because of lag or it just won't connect.
I'll have to stick to local co-op for now, and come back to the online play when they patch it.
